. PLUM CURCULIO ( Cono tracheitis nonunhar Hbst , ) 
Delaware L. A. Stearns (March 23): Hone of the plum curculios have 
emerged from hibernation as yet. 
Georgia 0. I. Snapp (March 20): No adults have appeared from hi- 
bernation to date in Port Valley. Jarring for the first 
adults has been conducted daily since March 12. The appear- 
ance of adults from hibernation is much later this year than 
usual when corn-oared with the present stage of development of 
the fruit. This is due to the cool weather that has pre- 
vailed since the trees started to bloom about the first of 
March. These insects come out of hibernation when the mean 
temperature has been above 60° ?. for several successive days. 
Only one day since March 1 has the mean temperature reached 
60 J. Petals are nor.' falling from Hi ley and Elberta peach 
trees. The late appearance of the curculio from hibernation 
this year, may ■orevent the development of a second brood of 
larvae before Elberta harvest. 
C. H. Alden (March 20): The plum curculio is scarce at Cor- 
nelia and Thomaston; no beetles have emerged yet. 
'.7. H. Clarke (March 25): The first overwintering .adult was 
collected in the orchard today, at Thomaston. Only a single 
specimen was caught. Last year the date of the first curculio 
caught by jarring was March 17. Approximately 1,000 adults 
were collected by jarring in the same orchard on the same date 
last year, March 25, 1930. 
Florida J. R. Watson (March 21): The plum curculio is late in 
emergence. A very few have been observed at Gainesville. 
Kansas H. R. Bryson (March 20): The plum curculio is reported as 
moderately abundant.
